Research Operating System

Purpose

This directory defines the operating structure for Framework Engineering research.

The goal is to organize the program around hypotheses and evidence rather than isolated one-off experiments.

Operating Principle

Every evidence run should test multiple hypotheses when practical, collect common measurements, define predictions in advance, route evidence through an Evidence Decision Record, and respect kill conditions.
